Distributed practice is the most efficient method of procedural learning [citation needed]. By equally distributing the amount of practice of a given activity over a period of time, you will increase the efficiency of learning that skill.
While the spacing effect refers to improved recall for spaced versus successive (mass) repetition, the term 'lag' can be interpreted as the time interval between repetitions of learning. The lag effect is simply an idea branching off the spacing effect that states recall after long lags between learning is better versus short lags. [ 13 ]
Distributed learning delivered as programmed instruction: Lack of social interaction; No interaction with teachers and professors; Lack of seriousness, competition and learning environment; Programmed instruction may be isolated & separated from daily practice; Programmed instruction does not give opportunity to work on oral communication skills
The strategies that students use to evaluate their own learning vary in effectiveness. In a meta-analysis, Dunlosky, Rawson, Marsh, Nathan & Willingham ranked ten learning strategies based on the projected impact each would have on achievement: Highly Effective Strategies: Practice testing - self-testing, solving practice problems
Andrew, Bascom, and Bascom (1991) [16] defined four strategies that instructional leaders use to enhance student achievement: 1) Resource provider: provision of resources to attain learning goals, 2) Instructional resource: provision of strategies and skills to achieve better teaching practice, opportunities for professional development, and ...
ADL uses the term “distributed learning” broadly, to refer to all network-centric learning technologies and their corresponding best practices for their use. Similarly, ADL uses the term “learning” to include education, training, operational performance support, and other forms of ad hoc, just-in-time, or self-directed learning. [10]
In another study, researchers compared the effects of overlearning and distributed practice on mathematics knowledge. [4] Distributed practice refers to practice that is spaced over time. In Experiment 1, participants completed 10 math problems either all at once or distributed across two sessions.
The varied practice approach focuses on the distribution of practice in time, the organization of activities to be practiced (blocked vs. random), and the interleaving of information or content to highlight distinctions that facilitate learning. For example, a varied practice approach to learning to shoot a basketball might involve a sequence ...
